Ric: as described above, i think Tim had the best intentions here. i don't intend to subscribe to the code of conduct, but i respect the motives. James: kind words are much appreciated, but according to blogebrity <a href="http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/11/17/b-list-blogger-and-proud-of-it/">i am</a> ;) as for Tim and Kathy, i've got a lot of respect for both of them, and although i think the code of conduct reaction is not something i'll subscribe to, i felt terrible about what happened to Kathy.

I can say you are way up high on my A-List of folks I read. It is the Tim O'Reilly and Kathy Sierra's who convict folks in the court of public opinion, who aren't charitable or moderate/supress alternative opinion that are B's at best...
